Macro lens will make it worst. The DOF will depend of MM range of the lens and the shooting distance too.

Finally, an update!

New video: Red Tiger Shrimp (watch in HD!)
This group has been doing well; original stock from Speedie, obtained quite a while ago.

Great CBS btw, love that glossy black look

I'll try to get some pictures of the Red Tigers. They are in a low tank with my bed in the way, but with the tilt screen on my camera, I should be able to play around and get some shots.
